@surfer989: "This was actually said on the CBS US open rap up show when talking about
Andy's loss to Muller. yeah like Roddick had any chance what so ever
against Federer."

Roger is unbeatable. I can actually see him winning 6 or 7 out of the
next 8 slams.
This is very possible. If that happens he will certainly beat Sampras
gs record.
Why is it very possible ? Because Roger is dominating the game right
now even more than Pete did with no sign of that changing for the next
few years."

Please indicate who he will lose to.
What will you say if this prediction turns out to be incorrect?"
    @wendyg: "<quote>
I had too, but to be honest I didn't have any confidence in it. Roddick 
has been slowly losing the edges off his game for some time now, as his 
drop in the rankings attests.

He will just put up one of his phantom house up for the bet like he did a 
few times in the past,
he is never brave enough to honor any of his bets if he does well you would 
not see him making
all thes bald and senseless predictions but begging on the street somewhere 
in Newcastle..... "

And exactly what part of dominating the game right now don't you

Someone said Fed would win 7 of next 8 slams, yet if he loses pre-final 
here he's only made 1 slam final this yr.  He needs to improve from 25% 
to 87.5% succes rate - that sounds like 'head up the arse' stuff...."

Nadal hasn't 'worked him out' yet.... he just turned 19 so wait til he 
peaks - some good ares-whippings coming up...."

oh but winning this uso is a given and that  gives him 6 out of the
last 9 slams and now he is only reaching his peak so winning 6 out
of the next 7 after this one is not a jacquelinefarley@example.net. not much more
that he has already done in fact."
    @beaver999: "<quote>
Guess that means there's a lot riding on this USO for Fed - just 1 slam 
final all yr - who woulda thunk it after last yr?"

Fed will win the uso this year. That will be 2/4 this year with 6/8 or
7/8 likely over the next two years with 4/8 an absolute almost
unthinkable minimum.
That would give him 12 or 13 slams at the age of 25. A total that 
would certainly see him exceed Peter Sampras soon thereafter.
But even if lightning struck and he only won 2/4 for the next two
years he would still have 10 at the age of 25 and most likely would
still beat Pete's record before he retired.
I mean who is there to stop him ? Nadal ?
